Default Moser gears

I just ordered a moser 12 bolt and im having it installed next week. Ive heard that moser sucks at putting in their gears. Should i have my shop take them out and put them back in or am i wrong about mosers installation?

It is simply not plausible that Moser is as careless as some people claim. Moser’s only business is rear end components.

I'm doing the same and I plan to have Moser do it.

Jay Billingsly is putting my Moser back together. Moser machined the pinion pocket .150 off. Jay is having the pinion race machined down to fit. He said this is a common issue with the Moser housing. This is why my Moser 12 bolt was louder than open headers. The gears look OK it's just that with the chrom molly drive shaft transmitting more noise I would need ear plugs to tolerate the noise level.

Based on this, I would have the gear setup checked. Had I known this when it was new, I would have a Billingsly 9" or a strange 12 bolt.
